Manifesto

We have attacked many targets in the past. People. Groups. Organizations. Corporations... Even Religions.
And still, it is not enough. Oh, we've made the news. Hell, we've even got a fucking wikipedia article. But if you walked up to an average person and asked them, "What is Anonymous?" You'd get the websters definition, not--

The group that took down Subeta.
That crippled a thousand online games.
That got enough attention from the CoS to get a documentary made.
That shut down Second Life for a week.

It's just a matter of statistical fact that most people, even now, do not know of us. If they know, they do not fear.

It is time to change that.

It is time, to change everything.

Welcome to Operation: Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

Background Information

The only higher profile target than a religion is a country. But anon said, "Fuck it, let's do a country that's also a religion's HQ." That's why were gunning for The Vatican. That, and the fact that it's small with limited IT infrastructure. It's an Ideal Target for us.

Also, since it's high profile, the attack is guaranteed news coverage as long as it hits hard, does damage, and can be sustained for several days.

This operation will be the work of Anonymous, but to make it the biggest shitstorm possible, we're going to collect attaches from various other communities, to do this, we need a moralfag acceptable reason. We have it. God Provided.

"The pope aided a pedophile priest, and claims to be the man closest to god."

Operational Parameters

Canonical, Non-canonical System

A system designed to prevent things from getting too chaotic on our side of the fence. Consensus decides Canonical status, all things start off Non-canonical.

• Canonical threads and pages contain plans that will be acted on.
• Non-canonical threads and pages may contain useful information, but plans on them should not be acted on unless they are sourced to a Canonical thread or page.

Minutia

During initial phases, we are operating in stealth mode. Anon can claim the glory once the shitstorm starts, not before.

To Do

1. Massive planning work. This will be unlike anything we have ever attempted before.
2. Psyops into various religious online forums, to create a psych climate conducive to elistment for the attack.
3. Low profile testing of Vatican websites for info for our hackers.
4. And if someone could shut down ECHELON, that would be nice.

Action Center

Wondering what the fuck to do? This is where you go to find out. There are currently three main branches to choose from.

• Recon
  • Scout around, locate mission critical data, phones, faxes. Find out which sites in opposition to the vatican are worth investing psyops time into.

• Psyops
  • Start breeding an environment of rage on likely seeming websites and communities.
  • Here is a starting point: link.

• Hacking
  • Locate vulnerable areas... in stealth. Find things other Anon's could never find.
